Yes, more photos from Rocky Mountain National Park. These are all from one trail. The trail starts at Bear Lake. Instead of taking the right branch to Bear Lake where all of the tour bus people were, this one is to the left and then the right. It goes to three lakes but we only made to two. I don't like walking on old rotten snow pack so voted against the third lake.
The first lake is Nymph Lake. We chatted for a few minutes here with two couples from the Chicago area. One couple played leap frog on the trail with us. They would pass us and then pause to catch their breath and we would pass them then pause. The other couple arrived after us. There was a walking stick discussion. They actually sound helpful. We might look into the telescoping ones.
The second picture really isn't very far up the trail from Nymph Lake. Nymph Lake is the pond in the picture. The trail itself is pretty easy since it wide and fairly smooth. It just goes up and at 9000 feet or so, we found it breathtaking. The scenery is really nice too. We had to cross a little bit of rotten snow pack to get to the next lake. it was fairly slick going back down the slope. Fortunately, there was much slope or I probably would have ended up sitting. Instead just a few slips.
Here is Dream Lake, I think it took about an hour and half to get there. It only took about 30 minutes to go back down the 2.2 or so miles of trail. I have no idea who the lady is. I didn't quite avoid her when taking the picture. Hopefully, she doesn't mind.
It was a beautiful day for being out and about. If you don't mind a little puffing, the snow pack maybe gone and it is really pretty and it was bug free.
